Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains two
member servers named Server1 and Server2. All servers run Windows Server 2012 R2.
Server1 and Server2 have the Failover Clustering feature installed. The servers are configured as
nodes in a failover cluster named Cluster1.
You add two additional nodes in Cluster1.
You have a folder named Folder1 on Server1 that hosts Application data. Folder1 is a folder target in
a Distributed File System (DFS) namespace.
You need to provide highly available access to Folder1. The solution must support DFS Replication to
Folder1.

The Scale-Out File Server
Explanation:
File Server for general use
Note: Youcan deploy and configure a clustered file server by using either of the following methods:
* File Server for general use.
This is the continuation of the clustered file server that has been supported in Windows Server
since the introduction of Failover Clustering. This type of clustered file server, and therefore all the
shares associated with the clustered file server, is online on one node at a time. This is sometimes
referredto as active-passive or dual-active. File shares associated with this type of clustered file
server are called clustered file shares. This is the recommended file server type when deploying
information worker scenarios.
* Scale-Out File Server for application data
This clustered file server feature was introduced in Windows Server 2012, and it lets you store
server application data, such as Hyper-V virtual machine files, on file shares, and obtain a similar
level of reliability, availability, manageability, and high performance that you would expect from a
storage area network. All file shares are simultaneously online on all nodes. File shares associated
with this type of clustered file server are called scale-out file shares. This is sometimes referredto
as active-active. This is the recommended file server type when deploying either Hyper-V over
Server Message Block (SMB) or Microsoft SQL Server over SMB.
Scale-Out File Server for Application Data Overview
Wouldn’t this bee L? The explanation says that Scale-Out file server is used for application data.

The explanation also says that A general use can be used for application data, it depends on the type of access the application needs, if it opens and closes the data quickly then general use, if it opens and keeps it open for a long time a Scale-Out will be best. The question does not specify in this case.

why thinking and discussing about this simple question??
DFS on Scale-Out Fileserver is not possible as Microsoft even states in this wizard/screenshot, so you HAVE TO choose general use FS, period!
If you still not believe then try for yourself in lab and come back with some proof of concept…

Your right. I also see that scale out application data does not support DFS and the question states that it must support DFS so the answer given is correct.

SoFS actually supports DFS namespaces, however not DFS replication which is what the solution requires.

It’s L because this is a TARGET FOLDER for DFS. as shown in this table: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831349.aspx
